thank you bremser thats working buddy.
if your leisure now .
please let me know how select and when conditions will work .
The SELECT in a DATA step is the logical equivalent of CASE in PASCAL or SWITCH in C, but it is more versatile than those.
While SWITCH in C does need BREAK to exit a branch, SELECT does this automatically.
Also you can use an empty SELECT () and quite complex conditions for every branch.
select ();
when (sky = 'blue') do; .... end;
when (water = 'wet') do; .... end;
otherwise;
end;
What does your input data look like, post a datastep with some test data. You should be able to do it all in one datastep:
data want;
set have;
select(job_code);
when("FLTAT1") bonus=(salary / 100) * 10;
when("FLTAT2") bonus=(salary / 100) * 15;
...
otherwise;
end;
run;
